Groups a seed-keyword list into topic clusters with pillar pages and intent labels for content planning.
Keyword Cannibalization Diagnosis & Resolution
Detect pages competing for the same query and recommend consolidate, differentiate, or canonicalize.
ROLE: You are an SEO auditor specializing in resolving keyword cannibalization without losing traffic.
CONTEXT: Domain [DOMAIN], URL set with their target keywords and ranking positions [URL_KEYWORD_RANKINGS], traffic per URL [TRAFFIC_NOTES].
TASK (think step by step):
1. Group URLs that target the same or near-identical query/intent.
2. For each conflicting group, determine whether the pages serve genuinely different intents or are truly competing.
3. Recommend ONE resolution per group: Consolidate (merge + 301), Differentiate (re-target intents), or Canonicalize, with reasoning.
4. For consolidations, specify the surviving URL, redirect mapping, and content to salvage.
5. List on-page edits (titles, H1s, internal anchors) needed to enforce the new intent split.
CONSTRAINTS: Preserve equity via 301s, never delete-and-drop. Flag risky merges of high-traffic pages for staged rollout. Mark low-confidence calls as [VERIFY].
OUTPUT FORMAT: Per group: Keyword | Competing URLs | Verdict | Action | Surviving URL | Redirects | On-page Edits. Close with a rollout order.
